If you think about it, since it is only mounted with two nuts, it can rock side to side parallel with those two nuts.
Since there is no rubber bushing or plastic bushings between the plating and the shock, it clunks slightly. I had this same issue. I don't think there is anything you can do about it.
If you really notice it that much I guess you could try putting a rubber circle peice between the shock upper plate and the chassis.
thats exactly what i was thinking, however, i was thinking about adding 2 more bolts to hold it better. take the spring/shock off, drill a whole through the mount and then through the body of the car and put 2 bolts in there... is that something i should consider or forget about it?
